Dielectric characteristic

I understand that in lossy dielectrics they waste the energy into heat, but I 
don't really understand what causes this to happen. What causes it to occur 
more in some dielectric than others? Also does only the surface of the 
dielectric affect loss? Is the dielectric constant only that of the surface?
